Sembcorp, a Singapore-based provider of energy and urban solutions, announced that it had signed two non-binding Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with the Government of Odisha to explore the development of a 720,000 metric tonne per annum green hydrogen production facility and an industrial park in the state.

The MoUs were signed by the company with the Industrial Promotion & Investment Corporation of Odisha and the Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sembcorp Green Hydrogen India (SGHI) and Sembcorp Development.

As per the MoU with the Industrial Promotion & Investment Corporation of Odisha, SGHI will explore the development of the green hydrogen production facility.
